I gotta to back to my Roy Rogers story. Back in the 70's I was a manager at a Roy Rogers in the Harrisburg area. The company promotions guy (reminded me of Herb Tarlack from WKRP) used to come up with some of the worst promotions imaginable to mankind. To celebrate the intro of the big beef sandwich (1 extra oz of beef on a kaiser roll) he printed up a $0.05 coupon towards the purchase of a sandwich. The company upper management in their infinite wisdom ordered each store to increase their beef order by an extra 50% for that week. Needless to say, our store alone had 800 pounds of cryovac bagged top inside round beef leftover that was rapidly approaching it's shelf life. The district manager called the beef processing plant in Scranton and told them about the situation and they readily agreed to buy it back at a discount. We loaded up all the beef from the 3 Harrisburg area stores, loaded it up in an unrefrigerated van and drove it back up to Scranton in the summer. When we got to the processing plant in Scranton we told them about the beef (which at this point was starting to get a bit on the warm side) and asked them what they could possible use it for. They said it doesn't really matter we are just going to use it for minute steaks anyway. I haven't touched a minute steak since that day.

I hear you. I had an old chemistry teacher once tell the class he won't drink chocolate milk because he once worked at a dairy and they used the lowest quality milk to make it since the chocolate covered up the taste.

Donkey's Place in Camden! It's not even on cheesesteak row!

I may have to boycott the show until next episode.

Doubt anyone in Jenkintown would go to Camden for a cheesesteak.... But it is supposedly based on the writer's life.

I’ve never heard of Donkeys Place.

Me neither. Is that in Tijuana?
